With a strong reputation for delivering innovative, low-carbon solutions across the built environment, this business works on a diverse range of high-profile projects spanning commercial, residential, healthcare, education, science and technology sectors. Sustainability sits at the heart of their approach, and they continue to invest heavily in expanding their expertise in Net Zero Carbon, building performance and environmental design.

  • Driving innovation and best practice across sustainability services.
  • Supporting resource planning and successful project delivery across multiple commissions.

We're keen to speak with candidates who have experience within sustainability consultancy, building services engineering, environmental design or a related discipline:

  • Strong knowledge of sustainability and building performance within the built environment.
  • Experience managing projects and engaging directly with clients.
  • An interest in Net Zero Carbon, low-carbon design and environmental performance.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Commercial awareness and a desire to contribute to business growth.
  • Experience with energy modelling, carbon assessments, building performance analysis, BREEAM, WELL or similar sustainability frameworks would be beneficial but is by no means essential.
